    Poem Commentary

    shadows accomodate

    curves,

    and in light you'll find-

    the softest rock is the mind,

    but it's hardened in time.

    candy

    Often

    Cold hands search empty pockets

    For the softest

    Rock

     

    Standing

    At an open doorway

    Thoughts tiptoe into

    Darkness

     

    Into her,

    Melting like chocolate,

    Every want

    Hardens

     

    Light

    Cries against

    Lonely pillow

    Breaking

     

    Breath

    Molests her quiet

    Denials in

    Silence.

    If words were rationed you would not be daunted. You would still turn out the best darn poems written in austerity but rich with meaning and subtle music. The more I read the more I become hooked on this kind of writing.

    Truly...Tension and dramatic urgency are magnified by your use of brevity. Good Job!

    "searching for the softest rock..." wow, that's a great line, really true, a lesser of two evil's thing.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
